I'm sure everyone remembers the Twisted Sister video for "We're Not Gonna Take It". Remember the kid at the beginning? The one who said,"I wanna rock" and blasted Niedermeyer (or The Maestro, depending on your frame of reference) out the window with one guitar chord? Well, I always thought that kid was cute because he looked like a young John Travolta. I've often wondered how that kid grew up. I figured if he looked like John Travolta as a boy, chances were good that he'd grow up to be pretty hot.
I'd like to thank the IMDB for confirming my suspicions. That kid did grow up to be hot. Not quite John Travolta, but still pretty good. In fact, he grew up to be my "Number Three Man", right behind Johnny and Eddie Vedder. That kid was Jeremy Sisto!
As soon as I read it, I knew it was true. But I rushed over to You Tube just to catch another glimpse of the video to make sure. That's Jeremy, all right.
That's Jeremy looking like Vinnie Barbarino's younger brother. They really don't look alike now, but they're still both sexy beasts with the one trait I love most - a nice, thick head of dark hair. (Well, John's is thinning a bit these days, but it still looks good.)
This is one of those little trivia tidbits that I love finding out. I don't know how I didn't discover it until now. Regardless, my week is made.
Hey Jeremy, I wanna rock too.
**Update - Futher photographic evidence for the "non-believers"...
Look at the mouth. It's totally the same. And those eyes....and that thick, lustrous brunette mane. (Thanks to Jeremy Sisto's World for the shot on the right. Lots of good pics and info over there!)

That's amazing! As I recall, he didn't even play a chord but just Milli-Vanilli-ed it. That's spooky, I've seen the video about fifty times and I can't reconcile the younger version with the adult Jeremy.
The original version of the song was on the radio and Procrastinator Jr. said, "what did they do with the 'Goofy Goober Song?" I had to explain to him that they changed the lyrics for the SpongeBob SquarePants movie.
WP - The Goofy Goober song is actually a spoof of I Wanna Rock. I made sure I had that song on-hand after I took my nieces to see the Spongebob movie (opening weekend mind you, because Aunt BeckEye was more excited about it than the young'uns)so they would know why I found it so funny.
The local "Modern Rock" station played the semi-censored version of "Add It Up" by the Violent Femmes (someone check the temperature in Hades) and Procrastinator Jr. didn't like them.
I explained to him that it was the same group that did an alternative version of the "SpongeBob SquarePants" theme and he thought I was putting him on.
Way to do your research BeckEye. The ultimate way to settle this pressing debate will be when you get that interview with Jeremy Sisto.
#2 John Travolta is bald.
#3 Eddie Vedder is a midget.
#4 Jeremy Sisto is hot.
I know this because *I* was that kid!
